The Security Act of 1935 insured that taxes paid by employers and employees went into a fund to assist workers upon retirement. The act also included provisions that created a national system of unemployment compensation, and gave federal grants to states for specific welfare programs (for example- aid to single mothers, the blind, and the elderly.)
